The NightMoves Awards are given annually in the US pornographic film industry by NightMoves, an Oldsmar, Florida-based magazine[1] which was first published in 1987[8] and initially titled Sports South.[9] The awards began in 1993 and were initially titled the Central Florida Adult Entertainment Awards.[6] It is the third oldest continuously running adult awards show in the United States, after the AVN Awards and the XRCO Awards.[4] It also marks the start of the porn industry's awards season.[10] In addition to the show's national awards, local awards are also given to sexually oriented businesses and dancers in the Tampa Bay Area.[1] Two awards are given for each national category: one which is chosen by fans and the other one which is chosen by the editors of NightMoves magazine.[11] An online voting ballot is available for approximately three months every year for the fan's choice awards.[5] Recipients of the editor's choice awards are chosen based on film reviews.[12]
